Final narrative
An employee suffered two broken ankles while hoisting a scale using an overhead crane. The scale had just been painted and was being lifted from a floor platform to be moved to an adjacent area for drying. The employee was raising the scale off the floor platform, taking up the slack of the rigging, when the scale slid off the platform and struck the employee's feet. Both ankles were broken from the impact.
